CMR images during episode and follow-up. On axial fat-saturated T1WI with gadolinium enhancement (a) and 4-chambered long axis view of fat-saturated T2WI (b), diffuse swelling (arrow) and gadolinium enhancement (arrow head) of the pericardium, as well as pericardial effusion (asterisk) were presented. Global native T1- (c) and T2-mapping (d) were mildly elevated with values of 1300.9 and 41.7, respectively. Follow-up cardiac MR presented diminished pericardial effusion, significantly reduced swelling and enhancement of the pericardium (e, f). The global native T1- (g) and T2-mapping (h) value were also decreased with values of 1258.5 and 39.3, respectively
